Educational technology analyzes the teaching and learning process thoroughly to improve education quality. It examines variables like teaching methods, principles and theories, and their relationships. Educational technology also helps develop new curricula and teaching materials suited for the changing environment and learner needs. By facilitating teacher training and integrating innovative tools like audiovisual aids and computer-assisted instruction, educational technology aims to enhance learning and make education more relevant and accessible.

2. In the year 1916, this is
how the classroom would
look like. As what you can
see in the picture, a crude
way on educating students.

3. Now, In the time where
different kind of gadgets
exists, this would probably
what a classroom would
look like. Popularly used
gadget in schools now is
the IPad.

4. • Technology in Education
The rapid and constant pace of change in technology is creating both opportunities and
challenges for schools.
The opportunities include greater access to rich, multimedia content, the increasing use
of online course-taking to offer classes not otherwise available, the widespread
availability of mobile computing devices that can access the Internet, the expanding role
of social networking tools for learning and professional development, and the growing
interest in the power of digital games for more personalized learning.
At the same time, the pace of change creates significant challenges for schools. To begin
with, schools are forever playing technological catch up as digital innovations emerge
that require upgrading schools’ technological infrastructure and building new
professional development programs. Some schools have been adept at keeping up with
those changes, while many others are falling far behind, creating a digital divide based
largely on the quality of educational technology, rather than just simple access to the
Internet.
The rapid evolution of educational technologies also makes it increasingly challenging to
determine what works best. Longitudinal research that takes years to do risks being
irrelevant by the time it is completed because of shifts in the technological landscape.
The iPad, for instance, became popular in schools soon after it was released and well
before any research could be conducted about its educational effectiveness.
Following is a look at some of the hottest issues and trends in educational technology
and how they are creating opportunities and challenges for K-12 schools.

6. 1. Instructions should be Student-Centered
• Student-centered learning, also
known as learner-centered education,
broadly encompasses methods
of teaching that shift the focus of
instruction from the teacher to
the student. In original usage, student-
centered learning aims to develop
learner autonomy and
independence by putting responsibility
for the learning path in the hands of
students. Student-centered instruction
focuses on skills and practices that
enable lifelong learning and
independent problem-solving. Student-
centered learning theory and practice
are based on the constructivist learning
theory that emphasizes the learner's
critical role in constructing meaning
from new information and prior
experience.

7. 2.Education should be collaborative
• Collaborative learning is a method
of teaching and learning in which
students team together to explore a
significant question or create a
meaningful project. A group of
students discussing a lecture or
students from different schools
working together over the Internet on a
shared assignment are both examples
of collaborative learning. In small
groups, students can share strengths
and also develop their weaker skills.
They develop their interpersonal skills.
They learn to deal with conflict. When
cooperative groups are guided by clear
objectives, students engage in
numerous activities that improve their
understanding of subjects explored.

8. 3. Learning should have context
• Learning facts and knowledge about a content area topic is an
important prerequisite to understanding that topic and then developing
expertise. The key to this understanding is providing a context for the
facts.

9. Ability to collaborate, work in teams
Critical thinking skills
Oral presentation skills
Written communication skills
Ability to use technology
Willingness to examine civic and global issues
Ability to conduct research to learn about issues and
concepts
Chance to learn about new career opportunities

11.  Technology can be present at every stage of education process from
the introduction and the research to the project making to the
presentation.
 Students can create very sophisticated work and by this I mean
things like car design architecture, computer databases,
software, games, 2-D and 3-D online animation and so on.
 One last thing to consider is that technology is not just about
interactive whiteboard or computers other examples include digital
cameras, digital microscopes, 3-D printers as well as things like
microphones and projectors as well. It's about finding ways to use
technology meaningfully, so the investment is made by schools is a
worthwhile one, and it makes education more relevant to life and by
making the learning more dynamic.

13. 1.
• Educational Technology analyses the process of
teaching thoroughly. It tries to find out the different
variables of teaching, their interlinks, effects upon
each other, relationships, theories of teaching, phases
of teaching principles of teaching, maxims of teaching
etc. By developing the theories of teaching, it helps in
improving the quality of education.

14. 2.
• Educational Technology aims at analyzing the process
of teaching-learning thoroughly. It tries to find out the
different variables of teaching their interlinks effects
upon each other, relationship etc.
• It is also concerned with various phases of teaching.
The principles of teaching and the maxims of teaching
are also analyzed by it. Over all, it tries to establish
better and better relationship between teaching and
learning.

15. 3.
• Educational Technology analyses the process of
learning and the related theories. It facilitates more
and more of learning in less time. It takes the help of
various empirically established generalizations from
psychology, sociology, physical sciences, engineering
etc.

16. 4.
• The objectives of education are being reviewed and
revised with the passage of time. Educational
technology helps in finding out the right objectives.
Everything in this universe is undergoing
tremendous changes and with a very fast speed.
• The needs and requirements of the people and
hence education need be revised from moment to
moment. Educational Technology helps in fixing up
the right objectives in the light of the changed
circumstances and changed environment.

17. 5.
• The changed type of environment with new
curriculum and new materials is to be handled by the
teachers. The teachers equipped with old strategies
and methodologies of teaching will remain misfits.
• Right type of training to the teachers is the need of the
hour. Educational Technology can render its valuable
help in the training of teachers also. The use of video
tapes and close circuit T.V. will help the teachers to
remodel and reshape their teaching behaviors suitably.

18. 6.
• Keeping in view the objectives of education which have
been finalized by education technology thereafter
comes the question of developing right type of
curriculum. Only a suitable type of curriculum will
help in the attainment of goals.
• Curriculum is the total teaching-learning environment
which has to be modified and remodeled in the light of
latest thoughts. Only educational technology can do
this job of developing a suitable curriculum
appropriately.

19. 7.
• Teaching- learning materials are also as important as
anything else in the teaching-learning process. They
have to be in accordance with the environment of the
learners. In this age of science and technology, the
materials of teaching cannot be unscientific.
• Everything of the society including values of life need
be reflected in the materials. Only right type of
materials will able to modify the behavior of the
learner suitably making him a fit person for the
society. Only educational technology can develop the
required and the desired type of teaching-learning
materials.

20. 8.
• A strategy plays an important role in the hands of a
teacher in every teaching-learning situation.
• The strategy has to be the right one which should be
according to the materials and is able to bring about
effective teaching-learning. The different strategies are
being evolved by educational technology. The
knowledge of those strategies is a must for every
teacher. Then only the teachers will be able to do
justice to their jobs.

21. 9.
• Audio-Visual aids have always played an important
role in the teaching-learning process. They need be
used according to the times. The software aids, the
hardware aids, the computer and other such
appliances, equipment etc., have “to be used in the
present type of teaching-learning environment.
• Computer assisted instructions will help the learner as
well as the teacher to achieve the goals of education
more conveniently. There is need of deriving
maximum benefits out of educational technology.

22. 10.
• Educational technology helps in locating the problems
in the different areas of education. It also helps in
remedying the draw-backs.
• Evaluation of the teaching- learning process is also
made better because through feedback, things are
improved thoroughly and there is better control over
the process of education. Thus, educational technology
can revolutionize the whole process of teaching-
learning.

23. 11.
• Educational Technology identifies the needs of the
community. It helps in providing equal education
opportunities to backward people, disadvantaged
students and deprived sections of the society. It helps
education to reach the remotest corner of the country.
• The needs and requirements of the community are fast
changing. Educational Technology aims at identifying
the needs of the community from time to time. Then it
tries to improve the community in every possible way.

24. 12.
• Educational Technology identifies the needs of
class-room behavior. As the mass education has
reduced the standard of education, the use of
educational technology can maintain and
improve the standard by the use of teaching aids
and programmed instruction material.
Educational Technology can inspire the students
in the class-rooms for self-learning.
